MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

17 MOT tests are recorded for this 2009 Vauxhall Astra (BN59 GPJ) between September 2012 and January 2022.

The record contains 10 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 14 January 2022 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (22 issues), Tyres (13 issues), Suspension (8 issues), Lighting (6 issues), Windscreen (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 68 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Exhaust carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle exceeds manufacturer's specified limits (8.2.1.2 (a))”; “Engine MIL inoperative or indicates a malfunction (8.2.1.2 (h))”; “Offside Front Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))”.
